How long does the NY LLC publication process take?

The complete process takes 8-10 weeks: 6 weeks for consecutive newspaper publication (required by NY LLC Law § 206), 1-2 weeks to collect notarized affidavits from both newspapers, and 1-2 weeks for NY Department of State filing and processing. We begin your publication within 24-48 hours of receiving your order.

What is included in your all-inclusive LLC publication service?

Everything needed to complete your publication requirement: selection of county clerk-designated newspapers, publication in both required newspapers (one daily, one weekly) for 6 consecutive weeks, collection of notarized Affidavits of Publication, preparation and filing of your Certificate of Publication (Form DOS-1708-f) with the NY Department of State, and the $50 state filing fee. No hidden costs or surprise fees.

Why do I need to publish in two newspapers for my NY LLC?

NY LLC Law § 206 specifically requires publication in two newspapers designated by the county clerk: one daily newspaper and one weekly newspaper. Both must publish your notice of formation for six consecutive weeks. The dual-newspaper requirement ensures adequate public notice of your LLC formation.

Can I track my LLC publication progress online?

Yes! Every customer receives access to our real-time Order Status Portal where you can track each step: order confirmation, newspaper selection, publication start dates, affidavit collection status, state filing submission, and completion. You can also download ad proofs and affidavits directly from your portal.

What if something goes wrong with my publication?

We guarantee delivery of your Certificate of Publication or a full refund of our service fee. To deliver on this guarantee, we require accurate LLC information and timely responses from you. We have successfully completed every publication for customers who provided valid LLC formation documents and responded to required requests.

What documents will I receive when the process is complete?

You will receive: (1) Two notarized Affidavits of Publication (one from each newspaper), (2) NY Department of State filing receipt confirming your Certificate of Publication, (3) Copies of your published newspaper notices, and (4) A compliance summary for your records. All documents are available for download through your Order Status Portal.
